I Wish I Was A Train Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

C When I was a little boy I used to lie in my F bed C

 and F listen for the nine- C 0-nine G

 It F never ran on Christmas or the day that C Jesus died

 but every other day G it ran on time C

 It always made me lonesome but it F brought me comfort C

 and F what it did to me C I can't explain G

 And F as I wander through this harsh and C gentle world

 Oh every now and then I wish I G was a train C

Chorus

F Roll on roll on into the C dark night

F Leavin' all my troubles behind G

F Carryin' my soul far, C far away Am7

C Oh every now and then, I G wish I was a train C

 I loaded trucks in Isa rode the dingo F fences C

 cursed the F ganger on the C western line G

F Started throwin' punches in a bar at C Charters Towers

 They threw the book at me G I did my time C

Bridge

 Cause a F train don't weep a C train don't feel

F heartache C sadness and pain G

 And F when I die just let C my spirit ride Am7

 on the C boxcar of an ever G rollin' train C

[Repeat Chorus]
